->"''I, Poet of destruction, hereby declare that Global Warming is good. So, you humans have carved your existence into the earth, lest you be forgotten. Why lament? Be who you are, embrace your demise, for you are the architect of it. How smart you are, to eradicate a species as resilient as your own. Why deny your power? It’s the greatest show in the universe. Celebrate with me, the most momentous of deaths. Now is the time to burn twice as bright and half as long. Sincerely, Miss Anthropocene.''"

The album was preceded by the singles "Violence" with producer i_o, "So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth," "My Name Is Dark," "4AM," and "Delete Forever." Genre-wise it is considered
